Spring Race Weekend at the Beach

This coming weekend is one of my favorite Spring weekends. We'll be headed to the beach to run the April Fools Race!

I've been running this race for the past 5 years with the exception of last year (since I chose to do the Hershey 10K instead). As you may remember, I thought the Hershey race was just meh, so I'm excited to be going back to the April Fools Race again this year.

Here are some things I'm looking forward to...

Have a long girls' weekend. It's been since last Summer when we all went to Mexico that my mom, sister and I got to get away together.

The resorts and boardwalk. I love the old fashion boardwalk of Atlantic city and I love the resorts. It always makes me think of that movie "Beaches". We always stay ocean front on the boardwalk but try to stay at a new resort each time we go, although we have stayed at the Tropicana more than once.

Also, on the boardwalk I can not resist visiting the Rain Forest cafe. It may be cheesy but I love that place (I love themed restaurants)!

I'm also looking forward to shopping at the outlets near by.

I'll be running the shorter distance race this weekend, which I am thankful for because I did not put a lot of effort into training.

As of right now this is really the only Spring race each of us have on the schedule and quite honestly I think it might be it for us and that's okay. We have other things we need to do this spring. If anything else comes up, it might be an impromptu race. Can't wait to hear what everyone else has on tap for Spring! -M

We went to AC once. Tons of good people watching. When we were driving around looking for our hotel, we saw a dude walking on the sidewalk with a snake around his neck! Unfortunately, we stayed at Trump Tower. I know, I could just puke about it now, but this was like 5 years ago. I hope you have fun!

Haha no worries! We stayed at the Trump Taj Mahal a few years back and I thought it was actually nice. But than again we've never stayed at a bad resort here. As long as it's on the Boardwalk it's a winner!

A girls' weekend is always fun. My mom and I are tentatively planning a girls weekend for Princess next February. We need to get into the races, but we're already looking at hotels, and other things we want to do outside of Disney.

Oh I am bummed I am missing you guys! Before I got into Boston I was thinking of running that one - it's supposed to be so flat and fast. I bet it's similar to the run course of Ironman 70.3 AC (which would of been super fast had it not been run after swimming 1.2 miles and biking 56 LOL) Have such a great race!!

Sounds like such a fun time - I still haven't done April Fools but I need to keep it on my radar since Atlantic City isn't too far from Philly! I'll be in Long Branch for the New Jersey marathon in just a few short weeks!
